they have the most devoted cult following in british indie

I fear I see another poll on the horizon

Was gonna say Live Forever, it's the only Oasis song I can put up with.

Pearls Girl is better than Born Slippy.

best blur single of that period is probably beetlebum

Embrace best song should be One Big Family.

Best Boo Radleys single UNQUESTIONABLY "Ride The Tiger"

The Beta Band - Dry The Rain :D

Radiohead - Karma Police or Paranoid Android

SFA - The International Language Of Screaming

XTC - Easter Theatre

Something by The Chemical Brothers

Earl Brutus - The SAS And The Glam That Goes With It

Orbital - The Box

Pollpoll - Poll Poll Poll Poll

Something by The Chemical Brothers

Block Rocking Beats.

Pulp choice should probably be "Babies" or "This Is Hardcore"

Catherine Wheel - Delicious

Gonna restate Dubstar - "Anywhere", Six By Seven - "European Me", Cardiacs - "Manhoo" (or maybe "Bellyeye" or "Odd Even" if someone feels like objecting), and Mansun - "Being A Girl Parts 1&2", and then leave it at that.

needs more pop etc

i wish the lex was here. Dom can you pretend to be him and nominate some brit stuff?

Tricky - Black Steel?

Um, Lazarus by The Boo Radleys, please. Ride The Tiger, Louis? It's nice enough, but... LAZARUS.

Oh wait - make the Gomez song "Whippin' Piccadilly" :D

Lazarus predates the poll, NICK! I was gonna suggest it.

And change the Dodgy song to something else ffs

Change Primal Scream's to Kowalski.

Lazarus got re-released and charted in 1994. I also think given the existence of Modern Life Is Rubbish that 1993 should be the start date.

Dodgy song = So Let Me Go Far, please.

Oh ok, well I'm all for Lazarus then.

I don't approve of your SFA choice, Kerr. Make it Blerwytirhwng? to keep the Welshies happy. :D

Dom can you pretend to be him

Fighting talk there.

Yeah ok Lazarus can go in then if it did get a re-release.
Im not sure about changing dodgy. Staying Out For The Summer can go in as long as its 1994

u gonna get yr ass kicked by lex AND dom!

Also plz to change "The Drugs Don't Work" to "Bittersweet Symphony"

ok so far

but please nominate some pop

Madonna - Ray Of Light might as well be British. What about William Orbit - Water From A Vine Leaf?

Massive Attack perhaps ought to be Risingson.

Maybe, but Protection was their big, mid-90's signature song.

Probably best to stick to best known songs.

Probably should put some Beautiful South and M People songs in as there's fans of them on ILM

Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her

Ok it's up BEST SONG Of These Mid To late 90s UK Bands.

It's one poll Stereophonics wont win on ILM. Maybe the Bluetones will walk that one ;)

Seriously, why did no-one vote Bluetones?

because they were too inoffensive to be truly awful. and 'are you blue or are you blind', 'slight return' and 'if' have their enduring charms.

They said that about M People.

and hitler

But he didn't like the Bluetones

disliking the bluetones and not hating them as much as you hate reef/OCS/stereophonics are not the same thing. I can't imagine a world with reef in it where someone hates the bluetones more. perhaps if there were a ranking systems rather than an OPO situation, it might have been different. but hey, that's polls for you. if a thread with 300+ answers doesn't explain stuff, maybe polls aren't the way to settle this shit?

^ ignore grammatical errors there, my abilities in that area disappeared along with my will to live somewhere upthread.

I actually thought Bluetones were worse than Reef. Each to their own I guess.

But presumably you thought someone else was worse still. you didn't vote for them, why assume someone else is going to?
